    Unix script to recieve files

    have permission to leach about 400 pics from a website I have acsess to the list of the files through http I wish to write a script on my bsd box to download all the files w/o having to click and save as through the browser. Is there a command to get a file from a http server form console?

    Thanks

    I doubt you have permission, or you wouldn't have feel the need to clarify yourself, but it's all good.

    I believe the command you are looking for is wget. You can do a man on wget to find out more about how it works, but it'll do the trick for ya.

    wget -m http://server.domain.ext/folder

    will download about evrything it can from server.domain.ext/folder and download it in a folder called (wonder) server.domain.ext/folder

    -m is the 'mirror' function, and can be used to mirror 'static' sites (since php etc will be parsed by the server whilst downloading it)

    Just a silly little question....But how much HD space do you have left/available? Pulling down all of the downloads/photos you can from a site could be detrimental to it's health, in more ways than one....

    Good luck,
